It's been about three weeks now since we switched our beautiful, sweet
longhair (looks like and may actually be part Tuxedo Van) with the licky
granuloma problem to Natural Balance LID. She was previously only eating
Fancy Feast canned (chicken flavor).

The Natural Balance LID (limited ingredients diet) is grain free, as was
the Fancy Feast flavor we fed her, but Fancy Feast has numerous protein
sources in each can (fish, beef, poultry, dairy).

Natural Balance LID is made up of either Duck and Green Peas (canned and
dry) or Venison and Green Peas (just canned).

I wanted to stick with one variety or protein source (either venison or
duck) but she seems to go through periods where she'll eat one and not the
other.

However, she LOVES the Natural Balance Duck and Green Peas dry food.   I
just bought it this weekend after not feeding her dry food for about 5
months, and the second I opened the bag, her nose was sniffing away and she
was at ther plate in seconds.  I poured a little to start in her plate and
she finished it in minutes.   It almost seemed like I was pouring catnip
into the plate!   She walked away licking her chops and immediately went to
her sleeping place a very satisfied longhair.

What I really like about the dry food is that the pieces are small and
flat.  They also appear very easy to chew, and for a cat that's over 10 who
doesn't have the greatest teeth in the world, it's a great formulation.  
I'm trying to ease her into having the dry food as an overnight snack,
since she never finishes her canned food feedings.  I'm thinking that a
combination of about 1 1/4 cans of canned food and about half of a cup of
dry food a day are just about right for a 10 lb cat.

As far as her skin allergies go, since we stopped the Fancy Feast, I've
been giving her very little meds (Tresaderm and/or Prednisolone 2.5
mg/day).
The wound on her left hind leg is practically gone, but she still has 2
round lesions/scabs on her right hind leg.   The good thing is that they
appear dry which means that she's rarely licking them.
